North Coast Nosh V: The Recap

Weather: prime. Samples: generous and delicious. Purveyors: local, passionate, and skilled. So it went at the sold-out fifth edition of the North Coast Nosh sip-and-sample event, held last Friday at Open Arms of Minnesota in South Minneapolis.

From Smack Shack lobster rolls to Corner Table pate en croute to Alemar Camembert-style cheese to FrozBroz fennel pollen ice cream, the smorgasbord represented some of the most intriguing artisan food purveyors that the area has to offer.
